“You!” Bruce was extremely upset. If it weren’t for Jonathan''s poor health, he would have liked to give him a firm pat on the
shoulder, just like Terence did when he was displeased.
His grandson, who lost his mother at a young age and had such a blood—sucking family, had struggled so hard from childhood to
adulthood, and it broke his heart to see it.
If he didn’t take better care of him, how could he answer to his daughter?
Looking at Jonathan’s cold eyes, the old man’s anger faded instantly, and he gave in with a good temper. “Alright, if you don’t like
Ang, you can find someone else. But how could you say that you won’t get married! If your mother were...”
At this point, Bruce’s face showed a hint of sadness and reluctance, and he finally waved his hand. Take your medicine. I’m
leaving now.”
Before leaving, he swiftly grabbed the prescription Ang had left on the table, carefully folded it, and put it in the pocket of his
suit.
Terence had been treating Jonathan for a year or two without much sess, but now, a young doctor had surpassed him. He
wanted to take this prescription and show it to him just to annoy him. If Ang couldn’t be his granddaughter-inw, she
could be his god—granddaughter!
For some reason, he liked Ang the moment he saw her, and his fondness for her grew with every word they exchanged.
Ang and Bruce left one after another, and the vi quickly returned to its usual silence. Jonathan stared at the birds flying
away outside the window for a long time, motionless.
The end of autumn was approaching, and the migratory birds were flying in the gray sky for a while before they left one after
another.
Sebastian followed his gaze and didn’t know what he was looking at, but his heart still ached. Jonathan was not just avoiding
marriage. He had previously not even nned to live for a few more years.
He had been so sick before, barely sleeping an hour or two a day. How could he have any expectations for
the future?
“Mr. Lawson, Old Mr. Lawson cares about you, so don’t take it to heart.”
“| know,” Jonathan closed his eyes, then opened them again, no longer looking out the window. “Sebastian, bring me the
medicinal meal.”
Sebastian nodded and went to get the medicinal meal Ang had brought, sighing helplessly. Well, there’s still a long way to go.
One step at a time. Maybe, just as Ang said, the future will be full of hope.
After all, after taking Ang’s medicine, Jonathan was getting better, so he could be cured!
After delivering this medicinal meal, Ang delivered a few more times, but Jonathan seemed to be busy. A few times when he
was at thepany, she could only wait outside the vi for Sebastian toe back and take it over.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.

ic reason, she felt that Jonathan was intentionally keeping his distance from her. Once, when she went to see him, he didn’t even
speak to her, and as soon as he saw her, he went back to his room to work.
Ang felt a sense of indescribable loss but quickly adjusted her mood. Because the milk tea shop’s business was gradually
improving, she made a considerable ie from it, so her attention gradually shifted to the shop.
The days passed by, and the leaves on the trees turned from golden to a dry, caramel color. Ang swapped her short-sleeved
dress for a long white shirt and light blue jeans.
She pulled her hair up in a high ponytail, looking very energetic. Her clean little face, like that of an clusive fairy, was
unforgettable, and as she walked on campus, many people frequently looked at her.
The Brundelian speechpetition was about to start, and she was rushing to cheer for Jessica to defeat Fanny
“Ang” From a distance, Jessica saw Ang and jumped up excitedly, waving at her.
Ang ran over. “Jess, are you nervous?”
Jessica shook her head, smiling. “With you here, | don’t feel nervous at all. Just wait and see how | outperform Fanny!”
Seeing her confident expression, Ang rxed, but suddenly, a sneer came from behind them. “Outperform Fanny? That’s
quite a boast!”
They turned around and saw Fanny and her friend, Ste Johnston. Ste’s family was also wealthy, and as an only child, she
had developed a slightly arrogant demeanor. Few students dared to challenge her.
Fanny pulled at Ste’s sleeve. “Ste, Jessica is an excellent student. She''s often the top student in our ss, so she can afford
to make such statements.”
“Fanny, no matter how talented she is, she shouldn’t be so arrogant. Remember, there’s always someone better out there!” Ste
sneered, her gaze towards Ang and Jessica turning colder.
She and Jessica had always been at odds. Both came from affluent families, but Jessica was more attractive and popr. Ste
once overheard two ssmatesparing her to Jessica, saying that she was inferior. Since then, she held a grudge against
Jessica.
On the other hand, there was Ang, who used to be timid and unnoticed. Now, more and more people were praising her
beauty.
How could a person change so much? Did she undergo stic surgery? Ste wondered.
Ang raised her dark, beautiful eyes, staring at the two of them without blinking. “Yeah, being in first ce is amazing. The
feeling of being on top is even sweeter. Wait until you guys achieve first ce, thene and argue with us.”
She knew better than anyone how hard Jessica had prepared for thispetition, while she had seen Fanny participating in
various club activities and socializing at school.
In Ang’s previous life, Fanny easily took the spot from her. Without any strongpetitors, she studied peacefully for several
months before winning first prize.

Fanny could even secure third ce.
With a strong dislike for Ste, Jessica snapped, “Yes, there’s always someone better. Unlike some who only see one person

Jessica Turner, you- Ste was about to angrily retort but was held back by Fanny.
“Ste, thepetition is about to start. We shouldn''t start a fight.”
Ste was seething with anger, but considering Fanny’s uingpetition, she had to suppress her rage and shot a fierce

Fanny cast her eyes downward, appearing somewhat upset. “Jessica is truly talented, Ste. I’m a bit nervous. If | don’t win, how
can | face James after he has invested so much in me?”
The thought of Fanny crying filled Ste with distress. Fanny, such a genuine and kind-hearted person,
